Window and Transition animation scale

I recently discovered the function inside the developer options menu where you can customize the animation scale. Does setting the animation scale lower impact the phone in any negative way?

CRT animation

Just found a way to disable or smoothen the crt animation
To disable it , go to developer options and set animator scale to 0x and reboot the phone.
To smoothen it set animator scale to 1x and reboot
0.5x is very... meh...

display fades out and other unnecessary effects

I recently reset my LG G3. Since it rebooted, the display seems to be too clever for it's own good with its effects. The display fades out or shoots up from the bottom; when I enter a lock code, each letter seems to appear from underneath like a bubble etc etc.
I don't like it, but I can't find anywhere to turn all the effects. Anyone got a clue to help me?
cheers

You can turn off (or change speed of) animations in Settings - Developer options: Window animation scale, Transition animation scale and Animation duration scale.

Moto Display/Approach Issue

Does anyone else have an issue with moto display/the approach feature?
This wouldn't work for me out of the box. I even tried a factory reset.
I tested the IR sensors and they work. So I don't know what it could be.

Check with Motorola customer support. It works perfectly for me.

I had an Moto X Style and moto display was easier to trigger.
On Moto Z Play it is a little harder but I found it is best to wave your hand on the top part of phone and a little closer, like 2 or 3 inches from it.

Do you have the Animator Duration setting in Developer Options set to 0? I think it needs to be at .5 or higher as it governs the duration of the Moto Display appearance time.

Thanks for this! I always set all the animation options to 0.5x to make the software seem faster, but had always thought that Moto Display didn't stay on long enough when I activated it. This fixed it.

I guess that's because the play uses the proximity sensor instead of the infrared sensor used in the X.

FIXED!

This worked like a charm.
I can't thank you enough!

That just did it! I don't have to give up the Developer Options and have all the unnecessary animations (at least for me) eventually lagging the device!
Thanks a lot!!

Tablet Mode?

Is there any way to make all the apps act like the tablet version counterpart when opening the Fold? For instance, YouTube. On my S4, you can scroll through comments on the right side while watching video on the left. Also Flipboard. You can flip through screens in a Tablet, but the Fold only lets you scroll vertically when open.

You can change dpi/minimal width, if it's high enough apps get into tablet mode or even big tablet more

yes.
even if you change the text/scaling to the Smallest in the Display Settings, its not QUITE there as a setting for "Tablet Mode". you end up at like 742 DP or something if i recall correctly.
Step #1: enabling Developer Options. -> Settings -> About Phone -> Software Information -> Tap the Build Number multiple times, until it says "You are now a Developer"
Step #2: back to Settings front page -> now, at the bottom under About Phone, you should see Developer Options -> In the Drawing portion -> Minimum Width: it should be around 742 DP like i mentioned earlier. -> now change this number to 800
changing it to 800 DP will ensure that your device will be in Tablet Mode all the time.
and since you're there in the Drawing portion: change the Window Animation Scale, Transition Animation Scale, and Animator Animation Scale to: .5x
this will cut all your animation and transition times in half.
it is the only way to use this device if you ask me.
good luck!

Thanks for the great tips!

I've set it to 850 and it's amazing :3

Any idea what it's set to on the front screen? I adjusted mine and I can't get it back

Tablet mode
You can simply try to change DPI for apps

you can try the simple way (which doesn't seem to work anymore on newer androids): turn OFF Developer Options, and Restart your Phone.
if not,
Settings -> Apps -> All -> Settings -> Storage -> Clear Data
that should do it for you. a restart after clearing might not hurt too.
good luck!

It is 327

Is there any way to set the front screen dp separate from the main screen? When I set the min width to 800, the front screen's app title becomes way to small to read... Or is there any way to set font size for the front screen app icons?
